For those of you that are wondering if there is a lot of traffic in Sodwana Bay. The answer is NO!!!! OK, except the peak season, the main town – Mbazwana and maybe at the beach gate can get a bit congested. Outside of that the only traffic you will be getting is your local rural animals.
We have goats, chickens and most probably the biggest farm animal available in Sodwana is the Nguni Cattle!
The Nguni’s are indigenous to Southern Africa . They are a medium sized cow breed that have been bread between american cows and later on European cows and eventually mixing with South African breads that we now call the Nguni cows.
Honestly in my opinion these are one of the most beautiful cow breeds I have ever seen. They are great for milking, slaughtering for meat and overall just mowing your lawn for you. They are actually a great help keeping the tall grass at bay.
They have a diversity of colors: some are completely black, some look like the milking cows (black and white), we have even seen the cutest little brown and white calf that looks almost like our little Jack Russel. Some of them can look like the Brahman cow, the white – grayish speckled kind.
If you do happen to encounter a herd on the road from a safe short distance start litely hooting in short bursts usually this signals them to move. Try not to startle them to much otherwise you might have a stampede on your hands.
